Why Fully Managed Website Hosting Is the Smart Choice for Small Businesses

If you’re a small business owner, chances are you’ve got a lot on your plate. Managing your website – making sure it’s secure, fast, and online 24/7 – shouldn’t be another thing to worry about. That’s where fully managed hosting comes in, and it’s exactly what we offer here at O’Brien Media.

What is Fully Managed Hosting?

Unlike basic hosting packages from big-name providers, fully managed hosting means we take care of everything for you – from software updates and security patches to monitoring and backups. Your website is hosted on our private platform, developed in-house and tailored specifically for the types of websites we build and support.

Here’s why that matters:

1. Peace of mind with security built in

We’ve built our hosting platform with Cyber Essentials compliance in mind. That means industry best practices for keeping your data – and your customers’ data – safe. You get proactive security monitoring, automatic updates, and regular vulnerability scans as standard.

2. Speed and stability you can count on

Our hosting is optimised for the websites we build, which means faster load times and better performance. And when your website loads quickly, your visitors stick around longer – and search engines reward you for it too!

3. Real humans you can talk to

No faceless call centres or endless ticket queues. Our team is based in Swindon and available by phone or email to help with any questions. And if there’s ever an issue, we’re on it before you even notice.

4. Backups and disaster recovery included

We take daily backups of your website, so even in the unlikely event something goes wrong, we can restore your site quickly with minimal downtime.

5. No control panel clutter – just results

Our service is fully managed, so you don’t need to mess around with confusing control panels. We’ll handle everything – hosting, updates, email setup – while you focus on running your business.

If your current hosting setup leaves you feeling uncertain, or you’re not sure who to call when things go wrong, it’s probably time to upgrade. With O’Brien Media, you get more than just hosting – you get a local team dedicated to your success online.
